			<h1>My card is safe.</h1>
			<p>Day 00756: Saturday, 2017 April 01</p>

<section id="general">
	<h2>General news</h2>
	<p>
		In the dead of night last night, instead of going to bed, I rode to my mother&apos;s place to check their car for my card.
		I hoped against hope it&apos;d fallen out of my pocket there.
		Sure enough, it had.
		I could&apos;ve waited &apos;til morning, but I didn&apos;t for two reasons.
		First, I&apos;d never get much sleep worrying about my credit card.
		But more importantly, my mother gets weird about the fact I don&apos;t use my birth name.
		I think they take it as a personal insult or something, as they&apos;re the one that assigned me that name.
		Of course, the name on my card doesn&apos;t match my birth name, so it&apos;d be best to recover it discretely.
	</p>
	<p>
		I got home late, so I didn&apos;t get as much rest as I&apos;d like to have.
		I was tired all day, but at least I knew my card was safe.
		After I got up, I drug myself to the credit union to get a cashier&apos;s cheque, then at about noon, I went to see the on-site manager and pay rent.
	</p>
	<p>
		One of the customers today saw me check the back of their card, but I didn&apos;t ask to see their <abbr title="identification">ID</abbr>.
		They asked me if their card said anything, so I replied that it just had their name along with the name &quot;Cid&quot;.
		They said it was instructions to check their <abbr title="identification">ID</abbr>, so I explained that &quot;Cid&quot; is a masculine human name, not instructions to do anything, and they quickly realised they&apos;d need to write out the word &quot;see&quot; if they wanted to be carded, not abbreviate it as &quot;C&quot;.
		I need to be a bit more obvious when I check customers&apos; cards.
		I think most &quot;Cid&quot; customers don&apos;t notice when I notice what they wrote, and so many people don&apos;t even look to see if the card holder wants to be carded.
		It&apos;s be nice to be able to reduce the number of idiotic &quot;Cid&quot; cards out there, even if just by two or three cards.
	</p>
	<p>
		A customer asked me today if working in a pizza joint has given me a distaste for pizza.
		I always find that question amusing.
		I can&apos;t eat any of our products, at least not the ones we keep ready, save for the cups of marinara.
		I can&apos;t really be tired of pizza &apos;cause I never eat it.
		It makes perfect sense to assume I&apos;d eat the food of the restaurant I work at, but that assumption simply doesn&apos;t hold true.
